Declaration Conditions 1. Operation of the fishery will be carried out in accordance with the Queensland Fisheries (East Coast Trawl) Management Plan 1999 and the requirements of any permits issued under the Queensland Fisheries Act 1994 or other directions to operators relating to capture and retention of syngnathid fishes (species in the families Syngnathidae and Solenostomidae). 2. The Queensland Fisheries Service shall by May 2003, make the necessary arrangements for the expansion of the current recording of data on catches of syngnathid species in the ECTF (T1) logbooks to include recording by species for retained permitted catch of pipehorses. 3. The Queensland Fisheries Service shall refine and implement programs for the independent validation of catch and bycatch data from the ECT fishery logbook program, including the following: a) Design, implementation and preliminary assessment of a pilot observer program by May 2004; and b) using information gained from the pilot study, design and develop for implementation a long-term observer program capable of providing statistically- robust estimates of bycatch in the East Coast Trawl Fishery and the Stout Whiting Fishery within five years, and provide by April 2005 a report on the proposed program and its implementation. 4. The Queensland Fisheries Service shall identify measures for the progressive reduction and avoidance of catches of syngnathids, particularly in those areas associated with higher rates of syngnathid bycatch. Measures may include gear modification, seasonal or area closures or other operational measures and should be applied progressively as they are identified and can be implemented. The Department of Environment and Heritage shall be notified of any proposed change to management measures to implement such measures. 5. The Queensland Fisheries Service shall develop and implement by May 2003 processes for the routine collection and analysis of information from buyers of pipehorses from the Queensland ECT fishery, including to the extent practicable species composition, quantities and weights of product, size distribution and indicators of reproductive status. 6. The Queensland Fisheries Service will complete a review of existing information, on habitat types within the East Coast Trawl Fishery area, habitat distribution and relationships with levels of catch of selected principal target species and syngnathids by January 2003. This analysis will be updated annually and reported by 30 April each year to the Department of the Environment and Heritage. Included in this will be an assessment of the characteristics of benthic habitat in untrawled (green zones and untrawlable ground), and lightly, moderately and heavily trawled areas based on the results of seabed biodiversity research work undertaken as part of CRC Reef Research Centre Projects and other QDPI research and monitoring projects. 29 7. The Queensland Fisheries Service shall provide for the design and implementation of expanded fishery-independent surveys of bycatch in the East Coast Trawl Fishery area by 1 July 2005, to provide progressive improvement in the understanding of the associations of syngnathid catch and bycatch with habitat characteristics. 8. The Queensland Fisheries Service shall complete and report by 31 December 2002 on a desk top study to: a) refine the current preliminary compilation of information on life history characteristics of syngnathid species which may be taken in the fishery; b) refine current preliminary assessments of vulnerability; and c) identify information gaps and priority areas

Soedarto SH street, Semarang 50275 Indonesia 3Postgraduated student Environmental Science Programme, School of Environmental Science, University of Indonesia, Salemba Raya Street No. 4, Jakarta 10430, Indonesia Abstract. Seagrass beds are important for providing ecological functions and ecosystem services, including its role as habitat for marine animals. In spite of their significance, they remain in decline. The change of seagrass beds will affect the associated animals. Some animals that live on seagrass beds protected by IUCN Red Data List and CITES 1973. Yet the data have not been properly recorded. The aim of this study was to find out the existence of marine animals protected by the Red Data List and CITES 1973 IUCN, especially in seagrass ecosystems in Indonesia. The method used in this research is mix method with desk study approach and presentation of data analyzed through review. The results of the study show that changes in seagrass ecosystems will affect the presence of migratory marine animals and those who live and settle in this ecosystem. The provisions in the IUCN Red Data List and CITES 1973 supported by national legislation in Indonesia will have significant impact on the protection of marine animals in seagrass beds.

In “The Secret Lives of Seahorses,” the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new special exhibition, you’ll discover that nothing could be further from the truth. Beginning April 6, more than 15 species of seahorses, sea dragons and pipefish will beckon visitors into the elusive world of these charismatic creatures. The Secret Lives of Seahorses highlights the varied habitats in which seahorses and their relatives live, and shares important stories about the threats they face in the wild. “Seahorses are wonderful ambassadors for ocean conservation because they live in the most endangered habitats in the world – coral reefs, sea grass beds and mangrove forests,” said Ava Ferguson, senior exhibit developer for The Secret Lives of Seahorses. “When you save a seahorse, you also save some of Earth’s most precious marine habitats.” Through wrought-iron gates, visitors will enter the first gallery, “Seahorses and Kin,” and meet the seahorse family: fishes that have fused jaws and bony plates in place of the scales normally associated with fish.

    Detrital shadows: Evaluating landscape and species effects on detritus-based food web connectivity in Pacific Northwest estuaries Emily Russell Howe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Charles Simenstad, Chair Daniel Schindler Andrea Ogston Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences ©2012 Emily Russell Howe ii iii University of Washington Abstract Detrital shadows: evaluating landscape and species effects on detritus- based estuarine food web connectivity in Pacific Northwest estuaries Emily Russell Howe Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Charles A. Simenstad School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences Estuaries are inherently open systems, linking together terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems. With fluid, permeable transitions (ecotones) marking the boundaries between these ecosystems, estuaries subsidize coastal food web productivity through the mediation of nutrient, material, and energy flux across ecosystem boundaries. Mechanisms governing the strength and scale of estuarine detritus-based food web connectivity, however, are poorly understood. For example, early estuarine descriptions suggest that extensive mixing and large-scale transport of organic matter occurs within estuarine systems, while recent evidence in estuarine detritus-based food webs has shown strong spatial gradients in the sources of organic matter assimilated by consumers across a diversity of scales. This suggests food webs are spatially compartmentalized in some estuaries, but strongly connected in others. Given that estuaries have experienced extensive structural and hydrological alterations over the past century, research describing the mechanisms of estuarine-supported subsidies is necessary if we are to provide informed guidelines for the conservation and restoration of estuaries and estuarine functions.

The fossils were collected in the Middle Miocene (Sarmatian) beds of the Coprolitic Horizon in the Tunjice Hills, Slovenia. They belong to a new genus and species Hippotropiscis frenki, which was similar to the extant representatives of Acentronura, Amphelikturus, Idiotropiscis, and Kyonemichthys genera. Hippotropiscis frenki lived among seagrasses and macroalgae and probably also on a mud and silt bottom in the temperate shallow coastal waters of the western part of the Central Paratethys Sea. The high coronet on the head, the ridge system and the high angle at which the head is angled ventrad indicate that Hippotropiscis is most related to Idiotropiscis and Hippocampus (seahorses) and probably separated from the main seahorse lineage later than Idiotropiscis. © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Ledeganckstraat 35, B-9000 Gent, Belgium and ‡UGCT, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Proeftuinstraat 86, B-9000 Gent, Belgium A thorough morphological description of the feeding apparatus in Hippocampus reidi, a long-snouted seahorse, and Dunckerocampus dactyliophorus, an extremely long-snouted pipefish, revealed spe- cialized features that might be associated with the fast and powerful suction feeding, like the two ligamentous connections between the lower jaw and the hyoid, the saddle joint of the latter with the suspensorium and the vertebro-pectoral fusion that articulates on three points with the cranium. Despite the conserved morphology of the feeding apparatus, it was found that in H. reidi the orien- tation of the occipital joint is ventrocaudal, the sternohyoideus and epaxial muscles are more bulky and both have a short tendon. In D. dactyliophorus, on the other hand, the protractor hyoidei muscle is enclosed by the mandibulo-hyoid ligament, the sternohyoideus and epaxial tendons are long and a sesamoid bone is present in the latter. These features were compared to other syngnathid species with different snout lengths to evaluate the implications of snout elongation on the musculoskeletal structure of the cranium. The arched path of the adductor mandibulae and the greater rigidity of the lower jaw might be related to elongation of the snout, as it yields an increased mechanical advantage of the lower jaw system and a reduced torque between the elements of the lower jaw during protractor hyoidei muscle contraction, respectively.

Abstract Overexploitation and habitat degradation threaten small-scale, artisanal fisheries around the world. Management of these fisheries is often inadequate or absent, partly because they are data poor. We here present the development of management options for such a fishery, using collaborative input from a variety of interested groups. Qualitative and semi-quantitative assessments of seahorse populations in central Philippines suggest that they are overfished. Management objectives focus on rebuilding seahorse stocks, maintaining income for fishers and ensuring long-term persistence of seahorse populations. We developed a list of 11 management options at a workshop of fisheries experts from a variety of backgrounds.

Tosatto Regional Administrator, PIRO 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg 176 Honolulu, HI 96818 Tel (808)725-5000 Fax (808)725-5215 Responsible Council: Western Pacific Fishery Management Council 1164 Bishop St. Suite 1400 Honolulu, HI 96813 Tel (808)522-8220 Fax (808)522-8226 Abstract: The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommended NMFS specify multi-year annual catch limits (ACL) and accountability measures (AM) effective in fishing years 2015-2018, the environmental effects of which are analyzed in this document. NMFS proposes to implement the specifications for fishing year 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 separately prior to each fishing year. The specifications pertain to ACLs for coral reef ecosystem fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ or federal waters; generally 3-200 nautical miles or nm) around American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, and Hawaii, and a post-season AM to correct the overage of an ACL if it occurs. Because of the large number of individual coral reef ecosystem management unit species (CREMUS) in each island area, individual species were aggregated into higher taxonomic groups, generally at the family level.
